Lac Léman, or lake Geneva, is the largest lake in Europa, shared between France and Switzerland, and surrounded by Mont Blanc that is also the highest European mountain. Light was not good, but fun was great.
We departed from Nyon to go to Yvoire, then Rolle, Saint Prex, Morge and Lausanne Ouchy. There we took another boat to go directly to Saint Gingolph, Bouveret, Territet, Montreux, Vevey, Lutry, Pully and back to Ouchy. Around 7 hours under the sun. Light is best on a sunny day that follows heavy rain.
If you want to see better and more details of all the Léman shore go buying the excellent book of André Locher: Les rives du Léman vues du ciel, ed. Favre, 2009.
